Holding on to your whispers
Hanging on to the finest lines
Watching everything we live for
Start to happen for the first time
I've wandered far too far this time
Far too far to be safe

My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
I give my love away
My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
And forever we'll remain

It's been so lonely waiting
Holding out for the very best thing
Finding out after all this time
All I wanted was here with me
I finally have the right to know
If what you told me could be so

My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
I give my love away
My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
And forever we'll remain

The sweetness that's slipped
Through my fingers
Was gathered by the storm
How could you have known

My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
I give my love away
My promise (easy to give away)
Upon this (my promise)
And forever we'll remain
